you should be able to connect multiple bluetooth devices to a computer.
i'm assuming your wireless kb/mouse is bluetooth too?

Mutleyracers · 28 Nov 2017 at 21:55

Hi. It is a wireless keyboard and mouse that comes with little usb plugs you plug into the tower. Not Bluetooth though.

tamzzy · 28 Nov 2017 at 21:56

normally there are buttons to press to sync the kb/mouse to the usb dongles if they get disconnected?

Mutleyracers · 28 Nov 2017 at 21:58

Haven't really had any time to play. Only managed to set it up. Noisey though towers

If its the one I'm thinking of you fire up the software when it tells you to switch on you switch it on and it should detect the device(s) and you're done.

You need a wired device to use the software first though...

You got it yet? What are your thoughts

Yeah arrive about an hour and a half ago..... I'd say the SSD is an absolute must it's made such a difference. It's noisy at startup but pretty quiet after that. You can overclock it to 3.7 with Ryzen Master and it's stable. So overall a very nice little system for the cost IMHO.

How are you getting on with it?

Mutleyracers · 29 Nov 2017 at 20:50

Wow you waited a long time.

So do you just plug the sad in then?

Glad you are happy with not. What is overclock it mean with Ryzen Master.

Yeah took it's time getting here.

So Ryzen Master is AMD's software that allows you to overclock the CPU, it's all point and click ( you can download it from http://www.amd.com/en/technologies/ryzen-master). The overclock makes a fair bit of difference so if you ever feel you need a little more power then it's worth a shot. Yeah the SSD took about 5 minutes to install (I put it just next to the mechanical disk at the back near the PSU), but then took about 25 minutes to clone the disk

. Now it really does perform well tho, so super worth it, I've only put a 120GB Integral drive in mine but again makes a huge difference.

ssd is the single biggest upgrade to improve QoL for a pc user

kinda, plug the ssd into a spare sata port, and then you'll need to reinstall windows on it, and then configure bios to boot off the ssd. then you can wipe the 1tb hdd and use it for storage.

ultralaser · 29 Nov 2017 at 20:59

I should say that Dell's BIOS is terrible for overclocking

Mutleyracers · 29 Nov 2017 at 20:59

Wowzers guys. This stuff is playing with my mind. I have so much to learn

The guys here in GH are really good to help you pick it all up

Just looked up overclocking and it can void the warranty

ultralaser · 29 Nov 2017 at 23:06

Impressive frame rates in games so far (~60 on high settings) which for a £400 PC is pretty decent. At the moment it seems like the RX560 is limiting the R3 which is surprising to me.

the rx560 about the performance of a radeon 7870 from 5 years ago, not surprised that the bottleneck is on the gpu rather than the 1200

Depends on the title, the RX560 will match the 1050/60 in certain DX12 games, no way a 7870 will do that...
